New ASA Wheel

335Transformer · 09-07-2007, 04:20 PM

Supposedly ASA is a decent wheel and ASA got all their manufacturing technique from partnering with BBS. Here is a new wheel I really like for my car. It is actually a 2 piece wheel, not just made to look 2 piece. ASA website has it as the FN1 but it could be the ZR2 on Tire Rack. I will have to see if that is the same spec. What do you think?

looks great, one of the best ones I've seen. I think it would go really well with the car. were you thinking 19s or 18s?

mikeo · 09-07-2007, 04:26 PM

Size, weight, offset?

OhhaiAlex · 09-07-2007, 04:36 PM

they look pretty good to me.

I was thinking 18 because I want to use up my current tires and also I want the comfort.

I was actually looking at those wheels at the tire rack but for some reason the tire rack only lists them available in 18" for the 07 328i. I would love to see some pics of this wheel on and e90.

Look nice, I like the idea of staying with an 18" wheel as well. The 19's are kinda shitty at the aspect ratios we run em' at. Ride and everything is great, but they look kinda silly...

Too much wheel, not enough tire. With the 18's not only are you going to get a better ride, but I'd say there is a chance of getting better looks.

Gary@TireRack · 09-13-2007, 11:49 AM

These aren't yet out so I don't have weight info, but I do see that we aren't going to carry sizes smaller than 18".

We are hoping to get our first shipments in around mid to late October, but when shipments come from overseas there can be delays.

Looks good but its probably cheap. Go for some iForged from Daniel@TheModCity! Believe me you will get such an amazing deal that you will buy it as soon as you talk to him!

Looks pretty good I think

shragon · 09-13-2007, 04:20 PM

if you're wanting comfort, I'd consider changing the RFT's to non-RFT's. Makes a huge difference.

I love the AR2's, but they don't come staggered.
Guess I will be sticking with my AR-1's
